Political violence has been a recurring issue in Bihar, particularly during elections or when significant political events take place. Tensions between political parties often escalate, resulting in clashes, protests, and sometimes violent confrontations. To address this, the Bihar Police and local authorities are working hard to ensure law and order during these sensitive times, deploying additional forces and surveillance systems. Special task forces and rapid response teams are also stationed in vulnerable areas to prevent violence and maintain peace.
The Bihar government has introduced a range of strategies to minimize political violence, such as stricter enforcement of the model code of conduct, heightened security at polling booths, and monitoring of social media platforms for inflammatory content. Despite these efforts, the state’s political volatility, fueled by caste-based or regional rivalries, continues to pose challenges in ensuring peaceful elections and political events. Public cooperation and strong leadership are essential to mitigating the risk of political unrest in the state.
